Thanks Shutoo
When a beautiful but poor young woman from the wrong side of the tracks is told by the man she's aways loved that he's marrying a wealthy, socially acceptable woman, she hits him and then marries a wealthy, older man that she does care about but doesn't love.

Very good Shutoo. Marlo, Loretta, That Girl and Werle are all correct. Your thread

Thanks Miles
Like you I was too young to watch A Date With Judy on tv, but I do remember Pat Crowley and Please Don't Eat the Daisies.

During the first season this actress starred in her tv series, her godmother who was a famous actress in films and her own tv show years before, recommended that she hire the same designer for her wardrobe for the tv show that she had used. Both actresses and both tv shows, extra bonus if you know the name of the designer ?????

You really know your stuff, lav! That is correct. I watched The Rich Are Always with Us not too long ago, and when I saw that scene I thought "Hey, wait a minute! They did that in Now, Voyager, but that was 10 years later." Sure enough, IMDb confirmed the fact that George Brent and Ruth Chatterton were the first couple to do that - at least as far as we know.
You may now go to the head of the class!
Thanks Star, I feel the same way about you

These 2 actors were relatives in real life. One of them took over the role the other had played in this series of films. 2 actors and what was the role ???

She is determined to expose this woman as a gold digger, and does. In the process, the boy's father falls for her...now two men love her...who will she choose? She loves the man who's helped her all these years, but wants to be with her son....
note: maybe I'm the only one who's seen this..late 30s...very famous actress. I'll give it a couple days for any guesses.
Always Goodbye ? Barbara Stanwyck and Herbert Marshall ???

Thanks Miles
He was an actor, singer and producer. He covered most genres, musicals, dramas, comedies, crime films, westerns. He had 3 mariages, 2 were to 2 actresses.
His first mariage was to an actress. She began her film career as a child in the 1920's. she became a teen star and was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for a 1930's film.
His second mariage was to another actress, singer. Most times she played the 2nd lead in films and was known for musicals.
Actor and this time around, the 2 actresses that he married ???

I believe that I've heard this story before. Is it "Magnificent Obsession" with Jane Wyman and Rock Hudson?
It was fairly early in Rock's career.
You got the right film, actor and actress Miles. Jane did say that scenes had to be done over 30 or 40 times because of Rocks being so nervous while they were making Magnificent Obsession. Years later at a party, he did thank her for being so nice about it and that he loved her for it. Good work Miles, your thread

Thanks, Lavender. The clues for this next one will sound very familiar to the last one with one exception. An actress starred as a wife and mother in a sixties sitcom that was based on an earlier sixties movie of the same name. Some years earlier, in the early fifties, this same actress played a teenager in a sitcom that was based on a movie from the late forties. This TV show and movie had the same title, but the movie had been a musical and the TV show was a sitcom. This is a tough one because the early fifties sitcom did not last long and many people may not have heard of it. Can you name the actress and the two shows? She had a lengthy career in TV shows and movies from the fifties until this century.
Could the actresss be Pat Crowley? The movie would be Please Don't Eat the Daisies, Pat Crowley played the Doris Day role from the film on the tv series Please Don't Eat The Daisies. The early 1950's tv show would be A Date With Judy, the tv show based on the radio and 1940's movie A Date With Judy. Pat played the movie role that Jane Powell played, Judy Foster. The film A Date with Judy has always been a favorite of mine and my mom's. Pat Crowley is still alive and has appeared in many tv shows into the 2000's ????

Thanks, Swithin. Let's see who knows this couple. They weren't married to each other very long. They both had been married previously and he had three daughters who became actresses. He was a director of movies and TV shows from the fifties until the early eighties. She had been an artist's model as a teen and later became a dancer in movies, first in small parts in the late 1930's and later in major musicals throughout the 1950's. In her later years she turned to non-musical, straight dramatic roles. The marriage ended tragically when he was killed exiting a helicopter during location shooting for a mini-series. He turned the wrong way and was hit by the tail rotor.
Do you know them?
Boris Sagal and Marge Champion ?? Boris directed The Omega Man, the Charlton Heston film, the mini-series Massada and a ton of tv shows. Marge is still alive and turned 100 a few weeks ago!

This film is a remake of a film that was released almost 20 years earlier. Both films have the same title. The film the question is about is a film in TCM's rotstion and it was shown on TCM recently.

Here's what I've come up with.
Barbara Eden was one of the stars of a 1950's TV series called "How To Marry a Millionaire", which was based on a movie with Lauren Bacall, Betty Grable, and Marilyn Monroe. In the sixties, Barbara appeared in a movie called "The Brass Bottle" about a genie in a bottle, but she didn't play the genie. That part went to Burl Ives. Of course, Barbara did play the genie in the TV series "I Dream Of Jeannie".
Did you know that Barbara is now eighty-nine years old?
Excellent Miles. Yes, Batbata Eden, she played Loco, in the tv series How To Marry A Millionaire ( the MM role in the film). In the film The Brass Bottle, Barbara plays Tony Randall's girlfriend ( Tony plays the role that Larry Hagman played in the series I Dream of Jeannie and yes Burl Ives plays the Genie). My next clue was about a 3rd movie that Barbara played the lead role in both the 1978 movie and the 1981 tv series, Harper Valley PTA both based on the song. I saw Barbara on a tv show a few years back ( maybe 5 ) and she stilll fit into her Genie costume and looked great!!!! It's too depressing to think of Barbara as 89 years old LOL, she will always be the beautiful, young Jeannie to baby boomers.
Thanks Miles for posting the photos, Great work and it's your turn

Although the actress did not win an Oscar for this film, she was nominated for Best Actress for this film.

This actress had a co-starring role in the 2nd film. The tv show that's based on that film has a different title. This actress was not in the first film and that tv show based on the first film has the same title as the film .

Most people, including TCM host Alicia Malone, think that the famous scene in Now, Voyager where Paul Henreid lights two cigarettes at once and then passes one to Bette Davis originated in this film. However, that is incorrect. The same bit of business was done in another film made a decade earlier.
Name the film.
The Rich Are Always With Us - George Brent lights 2 cigarettes and passes one to Ruth Chatterton. Bette Davis was also in that film ???

That would be George Winslow. He had a unique speaking voice, as well as a deadpan delivery, for a child. Cary Grant heard him on Art Linkletter's radio show and brought him to the attention of director Norman Taurog. This led to him appearing in two of Grant's films, Room for One More and Monkey Business. He also appeared in an uncredited bit in An Affair to Remember.
Excellent Star, all correct. George Winslow and Cary Grant. Winslow was a terrific child actor. Unfortunately the way it goes with so many child actors, not much came of his career once out of childhood. TCM shows Room For One More, such an endearing film, and Winslow's role was quite large, he was in Monkey Business and he had an uncredited role in An AffairTo Remember. Didn't get to use a MM clue, maybe another time. Great work, your thread Star

According to the lead actress who was an Oscar winner ( for a different film) in this 1950's film that was a drama, her co-star was so nervous that some scenes had to be done 30 or 40 times. The actress did not complain. Years later the actor thanked her for being so nice to him and and told her he loved her for that. Film, actress and actor ???

I was thinking Marion Ross because Happy Days grew out of American Graffiti but Brooklyn Bridge was not based on a movie.
Sorry, not her. These tv shows were 1950's for the first one and 1960's for the 2nd one. The films the tv shows were based on were also 1950's for the first one and 1960's for the 2nd film.

Thanks Miles
This child actor was discovered by a legendary actor when the kid was a guest on a radio show because of his funny personality and his unusual speaking voice. The child actor appeared in 2 films with the legendary actor and an uncredited role in a 3rd film with the legendary actor. Child actor and the legendary actor who heard him on that radio show and the 2 films he had roles in with the legendary actor and extra for the 3 rd film he had an uncredited role in with the actor ????
